Storm Systems to Impact the Central and Eastern U.S. Through the Weekend

Two storm systems will track through the central and eastern U.S. today through this weekend with areas of gusty winds, rain and heavy snow. Severe thunderstorms and heavy to excessive rainfall is forecast today from the Lower Mississippi River Valley to the Tennessee Valley. Damaging winds, a few tornadoes, and areas of flooding are possible. Read More >

Overview

A potent low pressure system has moved off to the northeast while high pressure builds in from the west.  The area between these two systems is where all the wind is located, ushering in a much colder air mass on brisk northwest winds.  Any lingering snow will end by noon with clearing skies expected by late afternoon or early evening.  Lows tonight will bottom out in the lower to mid 20s, and we may even see some teens for lows Sunday night into Monday morning.  Highs today and Sunday will be in the lower to mid 30s with the brisk northwest winds becoming light by Sunday afternoon.
